I don't know an Archbishop Primate. And why are you posting that you aren't posting and how do we contact you at those groups of letters?

A primate is a type of archbishop.

I am posting that I am not going to answer any more questions here. You can talk to me by going to the h2g2 site link http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2 and registering yourself as a researcher.

Goodbye, everyone! It's been fun.

Gnomon - Never say never again.
Just add a few every now and again to let the ones too set in their ways to try somewhere else, know you are still alive and kicking.
The link you gave will not work as it is missing the end slash so try link http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/

This question was famously asked for 1000 pounds on the British version of ''Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?''. Faced with four alternatives, including primate, the woman plumped for ''marsupial'' and left empty handed.

In later episodes, Chris Tarrant would express his relief that contestants had picked the right (but obvious to most) answer after much agonising, by saying ''I thought we were going to have another 'marsupial moment''''.

Goodbye Gnomon

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields...
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


Blessings.........
